full backup using Missing Sync? How?

[toomanyhandles]

I would like to pul the MOL3 update on my Q, but it seems it totally wipes the data.

M/S Palm version had a backup conduit that did just that; backed up the whole phone + memory card, if you wanted it. I don't see that for the Mobile verion, just backup of My Documents.

I don't have a card for the Q yet; I am not syncing my cell phone address book to my OS X Address book as frankly I have more stuff in OS X than I wish to wade through on the cell phone.

Also I've just now got the Q tweeked with programs to how I think I'll keep it; it isn't a huge pain to find and reinstall those apps but still.

Is there a good solution? At least/especially for the cell phone contacts list? I don't even see how I can "sync" that to a special, phone-only address book on the Mac. The only way I can see doing that part is to backup the Mac address book, delete all contents, sync phone so that the phone contacts are now on the laptop, install Mol3, sync the phone to put back the smaller contact list, then "restore" the OS X backup contents so the full list is now back in place on the laptop. But that's a klunky way to do it.

Any advice from others?

Thanks-
